In company you are illusive
standing behind the counter
your hand in the ice bucket
mastering the of the art of ice-chipping
as Basil Hayden awaits
in the sanctuary of a thin round glass.
Today was better than yesterday.
You showed up
with running water, electricity, gratitude.
All of these things
are helpful for
casual kitchen gatherings,
the blissful sound of ice cubes cracking
on the first pour.
